I'm confused, my science teacher or my friend? , My science teacher said that we evolve from Ape , and the adaptation , survival , facing natures severity learning skills and love to the children has bring us to this stage. My friend told me that we are made from clay balls, and a another friend told me that we are from Adam and eve. I feel like its better to study the easy way. So I can just simply write the bible content to my science exam.

Sure, go ahead and write it.
You will get a failing grade, or better still, no grade at all, from THAT teacher.
Why not switch to a religious school? Then you will get a perfect grade for the SAME answer from another science teacher. And she/he will ALSO tell you what the other teacher believes. Your choice to answer either way.

First of all, you're not dumb.
This is a complicated question that mankind has been wrestling with for hundreds of years.
My personal belief is that there is some truth to all 3 of those ideals.
I believe that man (maybe a more primitive form) was created by God from the dust of the earth (clay) and molded into the shape of Adam, the first man.
Afterwards, Eve was created from Adam's rib to be his female companion.
Throughout time, it has been necessary for man to adapt and evolve to keep up with the challenges of nature (extreme heat and cold, famine, plagues, predators, harsh living conditions, etc).
Over the years, man has gotten taller, faster, and smarter; but we were NOT descended from apes.
We were "created" in (not evolved into) the image of God.

Sounds like your friends haven't read the Bible either. Better stick with what science class teaches. They only miss on one single point: Random mutation can't work like they say it does. But the Bible is more interested in why than in how. Since your science teacher isn't interested in why, just stick to how. And don't knock down his house of cards by informing him about Chance. He might cry.

Personally I believe it all - but that's a different email.
Believe what you chose but do your science homework the way the teacher taught it so you can pass.
Soapbox if you must after the fact, but pass that test. Because if you wish to debate the subject later you will need to prove you are educated enough to do so intelligently.

If your Bible Study Teacher is giving the exam, then yes, use that explaination, but its best to learn one needs to parrot ones teacher rather then tell them something new if you want to pass their test.

It all depends on what you want to believe. If you want to follow scientific fact, it points to Evolution. Religion has very little to do with laws of nature. But you can believe whatever you want to.
